Yeah, I don't know why I haven't tackled
those two big guard guys! I wonder if they'll be gone for good if I defeat them, or if they'll return? I think I'll have a go before returning to face O&S.
The Watching Artist wrote:...After that you just unraveled against the simple normal enemies...
I think that, after a while, I get a little frustrated after repeatedly trying to return and face the bosses; I try to rush through and in Souls it's tough to do that. I feel that a patient style of play suits my current skill level better. The silver knights are tricky as it can be hard to judge their moves. When they do the "wave shield and then thrust" move I know that I can get a thrust in but, for their other attacks, I just have to block as they strike even if I hit them first. I'm not too good at getting around them to backstab; my character isn't fast enough.

Man, yeah, Cheeky Dev always tells me to use R1, too! I will try and break my habit and use R1 as my default attack.

Yeah, it's some kinda "magic" isn't it? I will have a look at my gear to see fI have something better for facing that sort of attack.

I plan on playing today from 15:30. I will spend time tackling the
two big guards in the hall; getting back to
the blacksmith to see if I can upgrade my gear; and - depending upon how those earlier goals go - re-visiting
O&S!
